Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2016
114. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the number of companies which participated in the research and development tax credit scheme, the amounts they claimed and the number of jobs they created under the scheme in each of the years 2013 to 2015, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16727/16]
View answerI am informed by Revenue that statistics regarding the tax cost and number of claims for the Research and Development tax credit are available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at
http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/costs-expenditures.html. Information for the tax year 2015 is not yet available as tax returns for this year are not due to be returned in many cases until later in 2016.
It is not possible to provide data on the number of jobs created as this information is not required on the tax return.
